The Difference




Special thanks to The VEGAN for helping me out! He's the man! I would still be out working on it if it weren't for him.

It took us about an hour and 15 minutes to do the job. Not bad for a driveway job! Spring compressors are a must! We measured after we put them on and there is plenty of room for 20's. The springs still have to settle, but you could easily fit a 20 with a 30 series tire. I know some peeps don't like that small of a sidewall, but hey... 20's and a 2" drop looks sick!

And for all the peeps that are going to tell me, "Now all you need is rims." I know! I'm waiting til next spring. No point in ordering them now, just to take them off again in a couple of weeks when we get a foot of snow. And yes, I'll be puttin the 20's on. :love:

Who's the sexy bugger doing all the work?


Oh, it's me.

I noticed with Nicole's xB2, her rear sat up higher than mine.

I may have too much stereo. If there's such a thing.

I was kinda pissed yesterday. I wanted to test them out a little bit on the cruise up the canyon, but I was unable to cause of the rain. Everytime I got into a corner hard, I'd lose traction. Today is looking like a better day for that though... :eyebrow:

Yay!!

I'm thinking about taking Hally up to that park and taking a walk. After I get out of work and she gets here, of course.

7am comes quick when you're used to going to bed at 4am...

Oh yeah, it looks good! I need me some springs now!

Yup! Here they are!

These are my first choice. They are the Alba Remix.


These are my second choice. The are the Alba Slice



I wanted Incubus rims originally, but they don't have a rim that I like with an offset that will work. Incubus targets bigger cars that allow for a more negative offset, such as Chargers, Magnums, 300's...

I look back on this and have to laugh out loud at how high my car is!!!

Anyway... Box number 3 is lowered. Going to try to get someone else to lower hers...





Tire size is a respectable 235/40R18 and the wheels are from Enkei.


Still not as low as meeee!!!

Looks good, congrats on another lowering job.

It may not be as low as you, but you're still not low enough either. :lalala:
